<h4><a name = "tag_000_008_105">&nbsp;</a>NAME</h4><blockquote>
rewind - reset file position indicator in a stream
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_106">&nbsp;</a>SYNOPSIS</h4><blockquote>
<pre><code>

#include &lt;<a href="stdio.h.html">stdio.h</a>&gt;

void rewind(FILE *<i>stream</i>);
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_107">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
The call:
<pre>
<code>
rewind(stream)
</code>
</pre>
is equivalent to:
<pre>
<code>
(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
</code>
</pre>
<p>
except that
<i>rewind()</i>
also clears the error indicator.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_108">&nbsp;</a>RETURN VALUE</h4><blockquote>
The
<i>rewind()</i>
function returns no value.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_109">&nbsp;</a>ERRORS</h4><blockquote>
Refer to
<i><a href="fseek.html">fseek()</a></i>
with the exception of [EINVAL] which does not apply.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_110">&nbsp;</a>EXAMPLES</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_111">&nbsp;</a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4><blockquote>
Because
<i>rewind()</i>
does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should
clear
<i>errno</i>,
then call
<i>rewind()</i>,
and if
<i>errno</i>
is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_112">&nbsp;</a>FUTURE DIRECTIONS</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_113">&nbsp;</a>SEE ALSO</h4><blockquote>
<i><a href="fseek.html">fseek()</a></i>,
<i><a href="stdio.h.html">&lt;stdio.h&gt;</a></i>.
</blockquote><h4>DERIVATION</h4><blockquote>
Derived from Issue 1 of the SVID.
